I think Oppenheimer will do Interstellar numbers, the subject matter isn't nearly as appealing as Dunkirk. 

 

I saw A Man Named Otto and it's a good film but I think it was odd that it's 15 rated as there's nothing in it to justify. I'm guessing the 

Spoiler

many failed attempts at suicide

might have been the reason.

£5.81M 4th Weekend 

Fantastic 4th weekend, around 25% drop.

 

Wonder where this ranks for all time 4th weekends. Only higher I can see is £6m for TFA.

 

For comparison, TGM had a £4.2m 4th weekend (-24%), £57.4m total, so almost identical gross at same point.

2nd biggest 4th weekend ever makes this run very impressive given the comparatively weaker opening. 
 

Also, Saturday jump must have been huge (like 100%) if it made £5.8m weekend from a £1.3m Friday. Would be interested to see the breakdown

Yep, it has the exact same rating description as A Man Called Ove funnily enough!

Rank Film (distributor) Three-day gross (Jan 6-8) Total gross to date      Week
 1. Avatar: The Way Of Water (Disney) £5.9m £57.3m 4
 2. Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Sony) £1.4m £6.3m 2
 3. Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical (Sony) £1.2m £23.9m 7
 4. A Man Called Otto (Sony) £1.1m £1.1m 1
 5. Andre Rieu In Dublin 2023 (Piece Of Magic) £775,000 £775,000 1

The Way Of Water dropped 23% on its previous weekend, with £5.9m taking it to a £57.3m cume from 24 days in cinemas.

That is well ahead of the first Avatar film at the same point, which took close to £4.8m on its fourth weekend for a total near £41m from 25 days in early 2010.

The Way Of Water has now entered the top 30 highest-grossing films of all time in the UK and Ireland at number 30; it will look to push on towards the first film’s strong £94m total – currently sixth on the all-time list.

 

Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody posted a fine hold for Sony, dropping less than 1% on its second weekend with £1.4m bringing it to £6.3m from 15 days in cinemas – enough to push it up to second place.

 

It overtook another Sony title, Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical, which dropped 40.9% on its seventh weekend in cinemas with £1.2m taking it to £23.9m total. 

 

Sony had three titles over the £1m mark in the top five, having opened Marc Forster’s A Man Called Otto to £1.1m from 641 sites at a £1,699 average.

 

Dutch violinist and event cinema favourite Andre Rieu proved a reliable draw again at the box office with Andre Rieu In Dublin 2023. Piece Of Magic Entertainment took approximately £775,000 from 640 sites from a Saturday release followed by Sunday encores.

 

Final figures for the weekend are still to come; over 500 encores are still to play, with the release pitching towards a final total over £900,000. Rieu’s highest-grossing concert release remains 2020’s Andre Rieu: 70 Years Young, which took over £2m, also for Piece of Magic.

 

Takings for the top five were £10.3m – down just 11.5% on last weekend’s total. With strong showings from both blockbuster and independent titles, it represents a positive start to the year for the theatrical exhibition sector.

So close to biggest 4th weekend ever. £80m is surely the target now, and TGM's £83.3m now within sight depending on how this holds through January. Looks like it could go down to the wire for $100m
